Write speed is approx. 25 MB/s ~ 60 MB/s*. If you're planning to do a lot of reading-writing then it's not a good option. However, if you are copying music and listening to it most of the time or storing/archiving data, the slow write speed is not going to be a huge issue.
*CORRECTION: Write speed is approx. 25 MB/s ~ 60 MB/s from further research.
Previously stated as 4 MB/s. Sorry for the error.

Write Speed is 4 MB per second so if you're planning to do a lot of reading-writing then it's not a good option. However, if you are copying music and listening to it most of the time or storing/archiving data, the slow write speed is not going to be a huge issue.
Dunno why.
It's a confusing way to say "up to 60 MB/s" (4 MB/s x 15). It's also misleading because a USB 2.0 drive could technically get close to that transfer rate. It's just that most USB 2.0 flash drives only have sequential writes in the ballpark of 4MB/s. That has nothing to do with the USB 2.0 bus, rather the garbage these companies sell.
Write speed is still slow if you are copying large files often.
I wish the manufactures would clearly state the write speed and stop this sly marketing tactic.

Dunno why.
FAT32 is the most compatible filesystem, but it has limitations.
Probably the next most compatible is exFAT, but the choice really depends on what kind of devices you want to read/write with. If I only wanted to write from a Windows machine, I'd consider NTFS.
